I know it may be a little late for Christmas gift ideas... I also think my favourite motto:

1. Nothing is impossible
2. It's never too late

I will go with the second one this time. :)
First of all the late shipping problem has been solved by many shops but still you have only have 2 days to order for it to arrive before Christmas.

For guys who still have no idea what to buy for her and for women who would like a little treat (because the sales are massive!) ... But more importantly for any last minute shoppers here are my favourites:

There are specific wardrobe must-have classics for winter
that never get old. That means once you have them you can wear them this
year and also 3 or even 5 years later too.This is why we call them classics – useful, warm and always trendy. This
is a smart wardrobe investment list. Memorize it, check it with your wardrobe, and enjoy the Christmas sales to get your needs!

1. Beige Overcoat

A beige overcoat is one of the most elegant options for
winter. It’s functional and yet you can never go wrong with it.Beige goes very good with every colour and
it’s also the colour of luxury.
Speaking of luxury - Burberry might own the colour beige but there are also more budget-friendly choices like Ben Sherman, Asos, GAP etc... Make sure it's beige and it fits you. :)

Leather jacket is the sign of bad boys and masculinity. One of the smartest wardrobe investments.
Most probably every man owns one but I’m sure you wouldn’t complain if you have
model and colour options in your wardrobe, right? In case of emergency for quality and cost balance you can check Espritleather jackets for a short cut as you see one in the photo. Click here.

3. Plaid Coat

Plaid is the symbol for cold weathers. If your are bored
with solid outwears it’s good and safe to try a plaid one.

4. Dark Denim

Lifesaver! You can even wear them at work. Light tones are
for sunny days. Let’s keep it cool with #AllBlack look. Deep indigo is also a smart
choice for weekends!

5. Heavy Jumper

Autumn is officially over. Let’s get the heavy knits ready
for winter.Waffle or cable knit jumpers
are our favourites. Maison Martin Margiela rocks it but - as always - there are many options for your pocket.

PS: Grey is the colour for jumper!

6. Oversized Scarf

There is nothing better than a simple look with a striking
accessory such as an oversized scarf. When your our on streets all they’ll see
is outwear. So why not to make it eyeful?

You might be very stylish and cool with your outfit but what
happens when the time comes to take them off? You might get ‘I’m hot’ ready for your date night but are you ready for the next level? (It might not be the same night but still… J )

Or let’s
be more well-behaved… Finding the perfect undershirt and boxer or else can
change your mood in daily rush! No need for adjustments is one of the best reason!

I have
received an e-mail from Tommyjohn.com presenting their products which made me
think: We – women – have tremendous options when it comes to underwear but men…
They don’t. So let’s make a point about that! Men are no longer buying their
underwear in cheap value packs, or letting someone else make the purchase for
them.

Here is the scene you can think about: You start a relationship. You become getting comfortable in the same house, chilling, relaxing, and watching TV etc… (Don’t get too relaxed!) It’s a common behaviour that neither you guys nor us women like to be at home with our ready-to-go outfits. We all want to be with our underwear or cozy lazy wear. There are many options for women from cutie panties to sexy knickers and laces… What about men?

There are not so many quality products for men’s underwear besides some luxury labels that we all know. Now you can have more options. Check https://www.tommyjohn.com/

There are certain things that symbolize a gentleman in mind. Cigar, whiskey, shaving brush... (And a watch, always a watch! :p )

I do like traditional things. Wet shaving is one of them. First of all it’s ad-smart sexy!
Men think women doing make-up or putting a lipstick on may be sexy and we – women – think men shaving – wet shaving – are hot! It’s also a great way to have fun by putting the shaving lather on your girlfriend’s nose & chasing each other. I know it is kind of advertising scene but it’s true; and it’s fun; and it’s sexy. It might be something like this:

While running an electric shaver over your face is quick and convenient but ‘real men’ do ‘real shaving’. Just kidding. I’m not a chauvinist or sexist but the truth will set you free! Plus, according to the men I talk to wet shaving looks better, feels smoother and also rehabilitates with the ritual including a brush, a bowl and a foam. Everything about wet shaving is stylish and cool.
It might be a little bit dangerous though…

To avoid being cut follow these steps:

Prep your skin carefully. Your skin must be as moisturized as you can before you use the razor. Take your time. Don’t rush.

Use a high quality product. We recommend creams instead of soap but it’s a matter of choice. Maca Root Shave Cream is one of the poroducts you may want to try. It softens bristles and improves razor glide for a close.

The golden rule of wet shaving is let the razor do the work for you. If you find yourself fighting with it you’ve probably picked the wrong one. While many men naturally think that pressing harder gives a closer shave, all they’ll end up with is nicks, cuts and a million little pieces of paper stuck to their face.

Before starting you first wet shaving take a few hours and watch a professional. It won’t kill you but provide you from several cuts and a bad experience.

Always but always use a quality aftershave and be generous about it. Also use a daily moisturizer.

After all of these instructions if you are still not into wet shaving then check out our 'Going Stubble' post! :) Click here.

Model and singer Jane Birkin wants Birkin bag to be renamed after Peta investigation into French luxury goods manufacturer’s treatment of
crocodiles and alligators. Hermès, however, has denied that the farm belongs to
them, or that the skins from the farm are used to make their Birkin bags,
asserting, "an investigation is underway at the Texas farm which was
implicated in the video. Any breach of rules will be rectified and
sanctioned."

These are the latest news about the most desired brand.

Many brands use the real leather to produce their goods. To
me using real leather is same with wearing real fur but which one of us doesn’t
commit this crime? (I am not promoting
the brand here; just saying that real leather is real leather. Do not support
or animal slaughtering.We must find a
way to do fashion without hurting animals.)

Anyway… Let’s be honest. Hermes is the first brand that
comes to mind when we say luxury. NYTimes published an interview with Véronique
Nichanian, 61 years old Artistic director of the Hermès Men’s Universe, about
her Paris apartment.(Interview by Steven Kurutz)

Your favourite living area?

A white-walled, high-ceilinged room with a view of the
Eiffel Tower.

What do you love about this space?

The light is amazing because it’s from both sides. In 20
minutes my husband and I decided this was the place we wanted to live, and it
was done. And I always dreamt of living in St.-Germain-des-Prés since I’m a
child.

Why this neighborhood?

First of all, I’m born in Paris. I lived in many places in
Paris because I moved many times. I used to come here and shop. I know
perfectly all the tiny streets. It seemed to me the people were nicer, casual.
There were many writers and people talking about art. For me,
St.-Germain-des-Prés was the place to be.

Sometimes when we fulfill a long-sought dream, we’re
disappointed. I’m not. I’m still very happy.

It’s said there is a Parisian way of dressing. Is there a
Parisian way of living?

You should tell me. All my friends, I can’t say we have the
same kind of apartment. It’s different because the personalities are different.
People are more classic or more traditional. I’m not a traditional person, not
at all.

Well, the flowers on your coffee table seem common to French
interiors.

I brought these flowers from the country. It’s very
important. It gives a softness. Even in my bedroom I have flowers. I like to
wake up and see flowers.

I noticed your record collection. What are you currently
listening to?

I’m listening to old Bob Dylan. I love his voice.

In both your men’s wear and your home, there is very little
fussiness.

It’s minimalist but with a touch of humor, I think, and emotional
things. I have a large canopy armchair. I have a sofa for friends. I have a
working fireplace. That’s fine with me. If I remember my first apartment when I
left my parents, it was exactly the same. Smaller. Not in the same area. But
exactly the same apartment. Really, I’m still the same. With my friends or the
kinds of things I like. I did not change.
